Haumono’s revelation raises questions

Hoy — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 17:52:53 +0000

There was a very interesting article in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. Solomon Haumono has come clean after 13 years of everyone believing he went AWOL chasing “the pleasure machine” Gabrielle Richens.

He has admitted it was all a ploy set up by he and Mundine to escape a contract with the Bulldogs.

Combined with the Sonny Bill Williams incident, the Bulldogs have now been the victim of two blokes doing a runner on their contract. Both times, Mundine has been involved.

What has he got against them? Or would he do it to any club?

And who does he think he is to get involved with contract breaking?

I am not a fan of Mudine, however this article raises even more concerns I have about those other sports stars in the stable of Mundine’s manager, Koda Nasser.

It seems where there is one, there is the other, and they likely have opinions that they can impart upon others to influence them.

It makes you wonder what plans have they got in store for Sonny Bill Williams, and Quade Cooper? Are they only signing up for one-year deals so they can both come up for a pair deal when the NRL salary cap increases?

I am sure other management teams have their sports stars getting together often, however when these blokes all get together to play poker, it makes me very nervous about what is going to come out of it all.

Beale or Cooper?

Hoy — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 20:08:34 +0000

A thought occurred to me today: Whilst Cooper is good, perhaps Beale is the real reason for the resurgance of the Wallabies late last year. Don’t get me wrong, I think we need both as much as the other, and I am a huge fan of Cooper. I think he is the man for the Wallabies [...]

Coming to the end of this year, can only mean one thing to all those who argue long and hard over anything: a team of the decade!

Video says much about Wallabies attitude

At the end of this article is a video of the Wallabies’ change room after the Welsh win. I love how, during the Lions’ tours, they have a camera in the change room to show you what happens before the match. And this is also a frank look at the dressing room after a good [...]

How national is the NRL and its coverage?

Hoy — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:02:35 +0000

This may be a conspiracy theory, but it could be a good one. Long have people outside of NSW felt that their clubs don’t get a fair go by the NRL, the judiciary, Channel 9 and the like. Some examples of this conspiracy theory include: Canberra hardly ever being shown on free to air TV, [...]

Wallabies Grand Slam could be a Grand Pain

Hoy — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:41:48 +0000

While it was a bit before my time, from watching The Rise and Rise of the Wallabies, I understand the Wallabies from 1982 were expected to sweep all before them. They had a plethora of talent coming through from age groups, and also old experienced heads. The mixture of experience was touted as just right. [...]
